Newcastle’s drivers of years gone by might well have used one of these garages to fill up with petrol - or perhaps to buy their next car.
All of these photos come from the excellent Newcastle Photo Archive which has a huge database of online images, and show the filling stations, garages and car dealers you would find on Tyneside.
They span from Aero Motors in 1950s to High Row Motors in 2000 and also includes scenes from 1963, 1969 and on 1983.
